Chapter 58: Buying Tong Guan
"Handsome, and listen to Xiao Ke's words."
Just when Yelu Liufeng was about to deal with Yelu Chuqi's military law, Wu Yong, who had not spoken, spoke at the right time.
"What does Wu Junshi say?"
Jereliufeng was puzzled.
However, Wu Yong was the person he relied on, so he still stopped.
"Dashuai, Wuzhi is a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and he is defending the city, the defeat of General Chuqi is a normal thing, and I hope that Dashuai will not be blamed."
Wu Yong bowed to Yelu Liufeng and persuaded.
"That's it, since Wu Yongjun spoke for you, this time you will be exempted from responsibility. The next time you make a mistake, you will definitely be punished for both crimes. ”
After thinking about it, Yelu Liufeng also knew that he couldn't completely blame Yelu Chuqi, so he followed Wu Yong's advice and exempted Yelu Chuqi from punishment.
"Thank you to the general, thank you to the military advisor!"
Yelu Chuqi was very grateful to Wu Yong, and after bowing to the two, he slowly withdrew from the barracks.
"Wu Junshi, Song Jun is determined to be a turtle, we can't do anything about them for a while, has the military advisor thought of a countermeasure?"
After Yelu Chuqi left, Yelu Liufeng opened his mouth and asked Wu Yong for advice.
"Again, we can't storm Yanmen Pass unless we have to. In the future, we will focus on provocation and find a way to strike from within the Song court......"
Wu Yong thought about it and made a suggestion to Yelu Liufeng.
"Well, what the military advisor said makes sense!"
Yelu Liufeng is a famous general of the Liao State, and he is a very smart person.
The failure of this strong attack caused a lot of casualties, so naturally they would not make the same mistake.
In the following days, after heavy losses in the first assault, the Liao army never stormed Yanmen again.
Instead, it was mainly based on stealing food and provocations before the battle, and both sides played a full role in obscene tactics.
The Song army wanted to provoke the Liao army to attack, but the Liao army was not fooled at all.
Similarly, the Liao army wanted to induce the Song army to go out of the city to fight, or even steal the camp, but the Song army also did not take the bait.
After going back and forth, the two armies confronted each other for half a month, and the pressure on grain and grass on both sides was not small.
During the half-month confrontation, the two sides also fought several times.
The Liao army attacked Yanmen Pass several times, and the Song army also went out of the city to fight several times.
In the sneak attack on Yanmen, the Song army suffered few casualties, and the Liao army retreated as soon as there was a situation, and there were no casualties.
It was out of the city to fight the generals, and the Song army had the advantage.
However, when he gained the upper hand, Wu used this acquaintance to lead troops to rescue the Liao generals, and the results of the Song army were also intercepted.
Half a month of fighting, neither side achieved much success.
Although none of them achieved a big victory, Wu Zhi was very satisfied.
In the absence of victory, the essence is that you have won.
The reason is simple.
The Liao army is the attacking side, and itself is the defending side.
As long as the Yanmen is ensured, it is essentially a victory.
On that day, the Liao army was in the camp.
After a tentative day of fighting, the Liao soldiers returned to the camp, and Yelu Liufeng and Wu sat opposite each other.
"Wu Junshi, it's not a way to go on like this. With 200,000 troops outside, the pressure on our army's food and grass is too great, and in another month, no matter whether we win or lose, we can only retreat. ”
After drinking a pot of wine, Yelu Liufeng expressed his distress.
"Well, we can only find a way to start with Song Ting. The pressure on our grain and grass is great, but the pressure on Wuzhi is not small. ”
Wu Yong saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides very clearly, and directly said his suggestions.
The Liao army was 200,000, and the Song army plus the original people and defenders of Yanmen Pass were only a lot more than the Liao army.
The Liao army had grain and grass pressure, and so did the Song army.
"But since Cai Jing was put in prison by Emperor Song, we have no internal response in the Song court."
Yelu Liufeng shook his head, thinking that Wu Yong's suggestion was too idealistic.
"What does the handsome think, how is Tong Guan?"
Hearing this, Wu Yong smiled lightly and spoke.
"Tong Guan?"
Jereliufeng thought he had misheard.
Then, as if hearing a joke.
"Wu Junshi, are you joking? That Tong Guan had just been wiped out by our army, and fled back to Bianjing in a gloomy manner, he hated us too late, how could he be our Da Liao's internal response! ”
Obviously, Yelu Liufeng did not agree with Wu Yong's suggestion.
"Dashuai, this time and that time. Tong Guan hated us, but compared to us, Wu Zhi was the one he hated. Now that he is gradually losing power in the Song Court, as long as he promises a lot of profits, he will fight to the death......"
Wu Yong shook his head and said his truth.
"There is some truth in what the military advisor said, since this is the case, then let's do it."
In the end, Yelu Liufeng was persuaded by Wu Yong to adopt this method.
That night, an envoy from the Liao State came to Bianjing with the conditions given by Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong and met Tong Guan.
"Hmph, Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong want me to be a mole, are they in the water in their heads? The reason why I ended up in such a mess is because of them! Come on, give me the Liao envoy! ”
As soon as he saw the envoy of Liao, Tong Guan was furious and immediately ordered someone to take him down.
"Tong is slow and slow, the two armies are fighting, and winning or losing is nothing but a normal thing, this is a public matter, not a private matter. The reason why this envoy dared to come to meet the adults was naturally sure that the two sides would eliminate the gap. ”
The envoy of the Liao State was also an eloquent person, which immediately aroused Tong Guan's curiosity and saved his life.
"Oh, tell me how to bridge the gap between you and me." Tong Guan asked with a sneer.
"Lord Tong, please read the letter, this is a letter written by the king of the Great Liaoning Southern Academy and the military division of the protector."
The envoy of the Liao State handed over the letter given by Wu Yong.
After Tong Guan saw it, he gasped and was silent for a long time.
"Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong are really bold......"
After reading the letter, Tong Guan sighed.
In the letter, Wu Yong and Yelu Liufeng gave a big bait, so that Tong Guan had to bite the hook.
As long as the Liao State destroyed the Song Dynasty, Yelu Liufeng promised to run through the official position of the Taishi of the Liao State with Tong and crowned the Song Dynasty.
"It's not so easy to cut off the grain and grass of the martial arts, and the official family is very close to this matter......
Thinking of the difficulty, Tong Guan frowned again.
"My Lord Tong, this Taishi and King Song are not so easy to take. Otherwise, you don't need to risk seeing children when you are young! ”
As soon as Tong Guan's words came out, the envoy of the Liao State immediately shook his head.
"Okay, I'm out of the way, anyway, I won't have a good life in the future, it's better to fight hard!"
After gritting his teeth, Tong Guan made the final decision.
"Then I will congratulate His Royal Highness King Song in advance on his success!"
When the Liao envoy heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, thank you for the envoy Jiyan!"
The voice of the Liao envoy to King Song made Tong Guan flutter for a long time, and his heart was greatly satisfied.
After the Liao envoy left, Tong Guan came to the palace and personally asked Zhao Ji for his life, wanting to serve as the grain and grass superintendent.
Although Zhao Ji is a mediocre king, he is not so stupid.
He understood the importance of the battle.
Once you lose, your own life will be over.
Anyone can surrender, only he can't.
Therefore, Tong Guan's self-recommendation, Zhao Ji refused without thinking about it!
